Hi, I'm new to this forum so not sure if this is the place to ask this but I need some recommendations for CPUs to upgrade to.

My current build consists of an Intel i5-4440 and a Nvidia GTX 1070 with 16GBs of DDR3 RAM. I mainly play my games on a 1080p 144Hz monitor. My problem now is that my setup at the moment fails to stay above 100FPS even on low settings in games like Rainbow Six Siege and Destiny 2. Framerates will even occasionally fall below 60FPS in some areas of Destiny 2.

When gaming, CPU is always hovering around 99-100% usage while GPU around 35-40% on lowest settings. So, what solid CPU should I pick up to improve my performance for gaming on a 144Hz monitor?
 
Solution
Going to depend on budget but as higher FPS is desired I will suggest Intel although AMD is still good. I’d say a i5 8600k/9600k or higher from Intel.

Ok, so now is the i5-9600k a good deal to pick over the i5-8600k?
